The Specials: 30th Anniversary Tour 2 Disc Special Edition
€21,49
The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combined a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk’s energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups.
The group was formed by songwriter/ keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals) and a rhythm section. The band wore mod-style ’60s-period rude-boy outfits (porkpie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers). In 1979, the song "Too Much Too Young" reached the number one spot in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" single also hit number one in the UK. Their music is featured in many film and television soundtracks.
After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. In 2008, it was announced that the band would reform and embark on a 30th anniversary tour in 2009.
This concert was filmed at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall in front of an adoring home crowd, the show was the biggest revival story of 2009 and the first time the band had been captured in concert for 28 years. With a 30th Anniversary set packed full of energy and hits, and a set of musicians on top of their game, it’s a memorable record of a band who defined an era. DVD Extras: Special Edition 2 Tone Black & White concert version, photo gallery.
